The Edinburgh Playhouse is the UK's largest all-seated theatre, playing host to some of the biggest names in live music, stand-up comedy and musical theatre. The venue was originally opened in 1929 as Scotland's second largest cinema. When it closed in 1973, it was resurrected by 'save the Playhouse' campaigners and restored into a fully functional theatre. The Edinburgh Playhouse is owned by ATG Entertainment.

Q:
Hello, I have two tickets to attend a performance on Saturday. But my mother and I are are unable to obtain vaccine passports in time. We are fully vaccinated including the booster but our first vaccine occurred in England and the remainder in Scotland. We have applied for vaccine passports but they will not arrive in time. Will lateral flow test results be sufficient?
A:
We just showed a vaccine passport on our phones via the NHS app. It was easy to set up and the passport was instant
